Thank you very much, that was exactly the kind of answer I was expecting.

Based on that, I think I am able to judge slaughter, battlecaster, illithid and banshee better than before. And as I stated, I already have enough experience of vampire, at least for my play style. What about balance, nimble and swiftness, how are those generally judged as (light-armor) melee suffixes, compared to slaughter?


As one-handed: it's pretty much slaughter or nothing at higher level, but nimble and balance are both viable at lower level, especially depending on what you have access to. Nimble offers parry that can otherwise be hard to stack up to a point where you're hitting your counter cap each turn. Balance is slightly less powerful since counters can't crit, but it matters less when you're lower level and dealing more of your damage with direct hits.

Two-handed prefers to use slaughter, as do dual-wield and niten ichiryu for their main-hand weapons, but again: at low level, anything goes. For off-hand weapons: balance is preferable for damage, nimble for survival.

In practice this means a high-level niten player may use a waki of the nimble for IW/fest, but balance is more than enough for arenas, and they can get IW easy enough that nimble may be overkill there too.

As for dual-wield... there are two optimal weapon setups depending on your purpose. A club of slaughter with a rapier of balance in the off-hand is the go-to for arenas, partly for the weapon procs (stunned monsters can't parry, and penetrated armor is still useful even when using imperil) and partly for the raw ADB. For harder content, a rapier of slaughter in the main-hand with a wakizashi of the nimble in the off-hand provides enormous parry chance.

Swiftness is not an especially good suffix because the attack speed granted by the suffix isn't that high compared to the normal rolls, and because it's only a small defensive bonus that doesn't match up to the enormous boost granted by nimble's parry chance - even moreso for dual-wield, with the off-hand parry bonus.

Staves have their own proficiency, none of it's abilities are affected by 2h proficiency

The only style that is affected by more than one, it niten, which utilises both dual wield and 2 hand. Other styles each have their own proficiency

Does power balance armor have any benefits over power slaughter armor? I keep hearing how pure slaughter is usually preferred for power armor due to the high damage accumulation. Should I employ a more mixed equipment set?

If you're struggling to make up accuracy, then yeah. Outside of that, it doesn't perform terribly on schoolgirls, but slaughter is better for damage, even disregarding counter-attacks being unable to crit.

The only other benefit to balance is that crits always apply weapon procs. There is mixed opinion on how much damage that provides, but I have not seen any substantial evidence to suggest there are any cases in which balance is preferable to slaughter unless you're sub-200% accuracy.

For Peerless and Legendary equipment and weapons, they can be in loot drops for any kind of battle right? Random Encounters, Ring of Blood, Arenas, etc.

However, their drop rates/percentage possibilities remain the same correct? There is no type of battle that has a higher likelihood of getting these high-tier rewards.

yes. As long as you play on the same difficulty, the drop chance of legendary and peerless is the same. Except for the fact that every arena has a guaranteed equip drop at the end, and that DWD at PFUDOR gives magnificent+

Technically it reduces it by a tiny, tiny amount, yes. Quartermaster training is worth it.

For the Manehatten Project hath perk, is it really that valuable for the Orbital Friendship Cannon? Or am I better off skipping it for other perks, or even saving for the Snowflake.

Demon Duality 1-9 is more valuable for all types of play, I'd say. That will improve all of your damage, including the OFC. I'd advice against getting it, unless you have so much hath that you want all the perks that have even a little effect. Also, should you ever switch to mage: OFC is useless for mage.

phudor: Pink Huffy Unicorns Dancing On Rainbows? (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

Improving your block and parry will help as 1h heavy player. When you are tanky enough, you don't need that many potions. Less healing, less spirit shield damage. A good way to farm items is IWBTH fest, but it takes time and cost a lot of stamina.

Are you playing only your daily arenas, or are you doing fests/IWs on top of that? Are you comfortable with the time it takes to do what you do daily right now?
